Hey, has anyone had their motor out of the flux yet? Just curious if they also have standard motor mount holes in them? I'm at work now, so I cant check mine.

I will go check upstairs.

EDIT : Yes it has 10 mounting holes.

they are also 25mm apart, same as most motors. IMO, if you need a CC/NEU motor, get the TORK motor because it is the same thing, but has more mounting holes and can be used with HPI's flux HP vehicles. (savage and new buggy)

Yes they are very similar, except the maximum outer diameter is bigger on the Tork (app. 48mm vs 42mm for the Neu/CC).

Yeah, that may be an issue - I bought a used one. Intending on mounting it in my brother in laws FLM Emaxx (3906 style). He's been laid up in the hospital basically for the last 5 weeks with some kind of blood problem that they cant seem to get him stabilized. Luckily, his truck ended up at my place after the last time we ran, so I can get it converted over (he's got a Novak system in now).

For fear of sounding a little hamfisted...I guess you could remove some of the extra diameter from the can to get it to fit?

Help me out...what does "sounding hamfisted" mean? New term to me!

Yeah, that's a possibility. I have a mill here at work that I take it down with.

Here you go, in this instance I'm thinking of the way some are heavy handed and get hacking sometimes with a Dremel or similar and leave a nasty looking mess behind!!!
